Posts such as the above are pointless, except for PR for Farrell Till and
the Errancy list. If a Christian is struggling with a particular matter of
faith, they should be going to Christians for help in resolving such, not
non-Christians.I mean what does this poster expect to hear back from
errantists - 'Well, no my friend you just stick in there and God will come
good with the answers?' The poster of the above has already made their
mind up that there is no justifiable reasons for 'God killing babies' and
that 'all the contradictions' actually are contradictions. I reckon they
have been reading to much of the Secular Web and not of the Bible they are
'doubting'. I would of course be happy to dialogue with the individual on
his current predicament.
Thanks
M.Bell
P.S. to Farrell Till
Good to have you back on the list, I hope you have a speedy and full
recovery.
